Android 8/9 Location Resolution Notification
* NOTE. Android 8.0+, unfortunately, demanded that we add the “approximate location” resolution, because now it is required for applications that support Wi-Fi directly (because Wi-Fi directly leaks this information). FX never requests your location, and this permission will only be requested on Android 8.0 and later when using FX Connect. This requirement was previously only applied to Android 9.0, but since FX now indicates full support for the latest Android API, Android 8.0 also requires this permission.
